Material Support (metal works) create an architectural and spatial experience that is animated by the viewer’s movement. In the process of making, the artist collaborated with friends and acquaintances in Mumbai and Kolkata. They provided her with photographs and locations of columns that, for them, reflect a moment in the city's history, in the areas they traverse daily. The repository of images ranged from columns found at the Royal Opera House, Bombay High Court, The Asiatic Society, to private residential and commercial, dilapidated, buildings. Earlier created for an exhibition titled “Ghost Lines”, the work was exhibited at TRI, Kolkata, due to its relation to their facade and front door, layering the history of two cities and the silent assertion of time through line drawing in metal for this work. The second (more ornate) column is recently created from Kolkata’s public and private spaces- an abandoned home and an in-use Jain temple, the work merges the two spaces into one form. 

TRI's building used to be an abandoned home, with histories that root toward myth rather than archive. The projections titled Capital Formation, Projection speak to the facade's texture, material, their binding agents that possess softness - as though that which holds, holds room for movement. Allowing the words to add rhythm while also referencing the Material Supports works installed indoors, the words presents an imprint of the human and the notion of memory. What histories do buildings hold more than a photograph can capture or than what people can remember?

These works along with Hybrid Amalgamations are a part of an exhibition titled SPLINTER PUNCTURE SLIVER SPALL at TRI, Kolkatta.
